Well it's been a while since we've posted a client testimonial! That's partly because we have consistent and longterm clients, and because some other clients rather remain anonymous (that's OK too.) Here is are the thoughts from Jason, owner of Premierglow.com, another client that saw a huge difference to their bottom line after our contributions to their web marketing initiatives.

We try our best to provide testimonial reviews from clients who agree to offer a referral. As you may know getting client's to agree to a testimonial is pretty hard since most don't want to publicize their web sites or are just plain lazy. Lucky some are happy to lend a review for our benefit after the help we give them.

I want to introduce you to Stephanie, owner of Snapaholics.com. She is a small business owner who came to us looking for a solution that fit her budget. Together we put together a marketing solution she could afford and that increased her web site's value. Here is here testimonial.

SEO and Web Marketing Testimonials

Many prospective clients are always asking the same question, here's an excerpt from one of them:

Other than the testimonials on your website, do you have any more?

The answer? Yes, and no. We always have clients but not all clients want to have their info posted on our web site. I suppose I could go, 'Client X loved our services, especially when he started converting more Y sales!' Hmmm, I mind as well just make them up!

Clients who do agree to do a testimonial receive a discount on their bill so it's definitley worth their while.

We recently asked one of our small business clients to offers his thoughts on the service he received from Distinct SEO. Eric is owner and operator of www.palmtreeservices.com.au and approached Distinct SEO in late September, 2006. Admittedly, we are very pleased with his responses and that he has agreed to act as a reference for Distinct SEO (so you can validate his claims :P).

Here are some of his thoughts from the review questionnaire he answered.

Hi Eric, thanks for agreeing to complete our reference list questionnaire. Let's start with question one: How did you find Distinct SEO?

From a SEO forum.

What made you choose Distinct SEO?

Their involvement and the genuine interest in helping. In the early stages their contribution was voluntary and free. However, not knowing CSS and HTML inside out I decided to delegate the task of reconfiguration a more SEO suitable site to them.

Describe your experience with the Distinct SEO team.

Excellent, many companies simply don't respond, overcharge or think smaller websites are not worth their time. At Distinct you are not treated like a cattle in a branding queue. Their techniques work; they adapt quickly to a foreign environment which means they understand your business, its operating conditions, and your competitors.

Did we answer your questions correctly and concisely?

Yes, this if anything it has been an overkill in their work. They put you right in the loop and explain why certain things are being done.

Eric, You took our SEO training program, what did you think?

I learned a lot, I also found some great tools myself on the net. The biggest advantage is knowing how to pick the sites that are infront of you apart then figure out how to beat them. I have also helped other sites and seen them rocket off. It just pinpoints what to look for. I'm not saying I'm an SEO expert by any means but I do know what to look for. When I can afford it I may want a refresher or tougher one using some tools online with you to pull apart some sites.

Were you happy with your ranking results stemming from Distinct SEO's work?

Yes, very impressive, now many pages are one the first page of Google. In fact they rocketed there from nowhere in less than 3 months.

What would you like to see different if you were to repeat your SEO process from the beginning?

Well, I'm unable to flaw the approach. It was very professional from the onset with clear guidelines of what you will get for your money. Honestly, keep it the way it is.

Anything else you'd like to add?

There is no shortage of experts in every field. Type SEO into Google and you'll have pages of 'experts'. Some offer a monthly fee to keep your site monitored and ontop of search results. Some what exuberant fees to guarantee results and analyze your site. Some will want you to rank on keywords that frankly no-one searches. Some have so many keywords their meta tagline looks like a dictionary. At Distinct SEO all the bull stops and the facts and realities step in, no nonsense results, they'll tell it to you the way it is.

Thanks for your thoughts Eric, and thanks for agreeing to be a reference for us. If you'd like to reach Eric please Contact Us for his details.

Since 2004 Distinct SEO have been integral partners with the owners of DiscussWireless.com, a cell phone forum and shop and compare web site. DiscussWireless' features including providing cellular consumers with both comparison shopping between online competitors, and an informative and comprehensive cell phone forum.

Much of the past and continued success of DiscussWireless.com has been a result of the expertise of Distinct SEO who have been involved since day one.

"We're pleased with the results Distinct SEO have provided for us in what are competitive industries," said the owner of DiscussWireless. Many of the search terms include leading cell phone manufacturers and service providers of North America.

"Just do a search for your favorite cell phone provider; we're competing with big names like Amazon, Telus, Verizon, Motorola, etc. We rank top ten in Google for terms like, 'cell phone reviews', 'unlocked cell phones', 'cell phone forum', 'free cell phones', and many, many more."

In response to the success of DiscussWireless, Distinct SEO owner Barry Nagassar gave his thoughts on the continued partnership.

"We are pleased with the results thus far given our time investment. DiscussWireless even permitted us leeway to try new ways of ranking web sites. For example, we didn't put a penny into link building, but we still managed to produce acceptable results. I still feel, however, DiscussWireless has a way to go to meet their full potential."

Asked how this might occur Barry continued, "The most important aspects for web site rankings today involves continued focus on quality link building and the creation of valuable content. These are two major factors that when combined could make DiscussWireless an even more competitive player with bigger search terms like 'cell phones'. Also, better/unique content means ranking for words you haven't even explicitly optimized for."

DiscussWireless ranks for over thousands of keywords and their uniquely optimized forum helps put quality content on the web for users around the globe. Over 300,000 users visited the site in 2005, and that figure grows daily. With a continued partnership and focus on current SEO trends, DiscussWireless will be turn into an online leader in the cell phone industry--with the help of Distinct SEO of course.

Notes: This site has since been sold (Nov 2006).
